✅ SOLVED A copper tag

[McCDig]

This piece is a mystery to me. I was in a farm field on Friday and turned up this folded over tag.
I've removed the owner's 10 digit phone number and replaced it with the dimensions of the tag.

Usually see these kind of tags on hunting dog collars, but they normally have a hole at each end so they can be bolted to the collar.

Call him and find out.

Your probably correct...number at bottom looks like "trip" number and "hunt" number....poster should google phone number to see if matches person still.

Maybe a tag for a trap?

Thx. Called the number on the tag. Will see if I get a return call. If so, I'll re-post resolution.

FWIW: No earlier than 1947, when Area Codes were first in use.
And probably a bit later than that as it took some time to see common usage.
